Introduction
The Way of the Mantis
In this introduction, you will understand what this stage develops and how to approach your training.
Why This Stage Matters
The Role of This Stage
This is not a final stage — it is the point where real development begins. Structure, power, and release have been developed. Now the system opens into its deeper layers. What follows cannot be explained before the foundation is in place.
Development
What Changes in You
Before
You have developed structure, internal awareness, power, and release. But the deeper layers of the system — energetics, intention, the advanced forms — remain inaccessible. They require everything built in the previous four modules.
After
The focus shifts to energetics, intention, and refinement. You work with internal power at a level that requires the full foundation to be in place. The forms here are not learned — they are transmitted. They carry the distilled experience of the lineage.

Core Method
The Primary Training Tool
Fut Sao — Buddhist Hand Form
The complete advanced hand form of the system. Requires deep structural understanding and internal development to train correctly. It is not a form that can be learned — it must be developed into. Every previous module is a prerequisite for training this form with any depth.
Outcomes
What You Gain
- 1
Access to the advanced layers of the system that require the full foundation
- 2
The ability to work with internal power at its deepest level
- 3
The point where self-directed development becomes possible
- 4
The foundation for carrying the system forward
System Context
Where This Fits
Module 5 of 5. Requires Modules 1 through 4. Completion of this module marks the point where self-directed development becomes possible — and where the path to carrying the system forward begins. This is not an endpoint. It is the beginning of the real work.
